h + l2 = r - /'i, - 2q - j � r - 2 . (C.18)
In the last inequality we have used the same arguments as for the case ,\0 HK,,\4 q +j Al'r), from
w hich follows that 2q + j + /'i, 2': 2 for all q, j.
We also examine the cases with ,\ o -intermediate cases:
1. k = 0, i # 0
The inequality (A.4) leads to
2. k> 1
From eq. (A.6) we obtain
l = r + 2k + i - /'i, • (C.19)
l � r . (C.20)
l � r. (C.21)
h + l2 = r - /'i, � r - 2 .
